Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gibiz at Free against ComicGlass's $3.99. Gibiz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). ComicGlass's advantage is chart position (#131 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
